Hastings helped guide the Stags to the MAAC championship game while starting all 20 games as a back this year. The freshman recorded three shots this year in addition to his defensive play.
During the season Tejera tied for fifth in the MAAC in game-winning goals with three, tied for sixth in goals with six, and tied for eighth in scoring with 15 points. A two-time MAAC and ECAC Rookie of the Week, Tejera was selected as the MAAC's only unanimous selection to the All-Rookie Team.
